The lesbian couple turned away by a Gresham bakery that refused to make them a wedding cake for religious reasons should receive $135,000 in damages for their emotional suffering, a state hearings officer says.

Rachel Bowman-Cryer should collect $75,000 and her wife, Laurel Bowman-Cryer, $60,000 from the owners of Sweet Cakes by Melissa, an administrative law judge for the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries said in a proposed order released Friday, April 24.

It wont be easy reversing the flow and getting it to move in the other direction. He will get to appoint judges who wont pull the nonsense these liberal judges are. He will push for a religious freedom protection law. He can move sentiment as president. I’m not one with a mind for the strategy, but he has the mind for that. I know it.

Change the name of the bakery to “Mob-Affiliated Bakery - You mess with us, we mess with you”.

Not one cent for this. I'd rather sit in jail. I'll never pay extortion.

Boycott the whole damned Marxist state of Oregon, and throw in Seattle/Washington State too.

More to the point, how long did they spend looking for a Christian bakery?

That’s nice, but I’d also like to start a GoF..kYourself fund directed at the lesbian couple and the idiot judge.

Now you're talking! Those vicious, vindictive lesbians were not hurt at all, but are purposely, and gleefully, imposing major hurt on the Christian baker, trying to destroy her life, just because they have the power to do so. And no doubt they feel virtuous and entitled in doing it. They are pure evil, and so is the judge.

A GoFundMe for these bakers might just be the way to go. Look how quickly the whole attack on that pizza place went off the MSM radar, or should I say gaydar, once the funds rolled in. It was a total backfire in the gaystopo attempt to destroy a family business.

What if every time a family business is attacked by the gaystopo the result is that the family business then winds up with enough money to retire. The intimidation tactic is then a total failure.

Clubs membership is how some places get around the restaurant smoking ban. Couldn’t Christians do the same thing in order to protect themselves?

You must apply for membership of the club and obey the rules of the club to be in good standing. Only club members can order cakes or catering.

It’s called “redistribution.” It’ away to make some money for homosexuals who don’t want to work.

I don't know anything about his family, but I watched him in the last political debate. He so extreme left he makes Obama look like a moderate.
